As above guys, do you use it in place of the centerpin on windy days.

Re: What do you use your Abu 500 series for.
I use my 506 m for float fishing,my 501 for light legering and my 507 for Pike spinning and carping.
But you are right,for float fishing on days that are too windy for the pin...

Re: What do you use your Abu 500 series for.
i use mine as a alternative to a centrepin ,but also for waggler fishing ,light ledgering. i like the single handed casting they allow .i have a 706 which is a modern version with switchable anti reverse and makes for a good general perpose reel , i have two 507's one is just for trotting with the other just for float fishing ,and i've a 506 thats just for trotting .
I try to be funny... but sometimes I merely look it! Steve

All my 500 series for float fishing - 501/505/506/506m - trotting for grayling, dace, chub, roach, etc. 507 trotting for barbel & big chub.
I use the custom made spools available on th'ebay
(An auto-bail reel for waggler fishing in both running & stillwater.)

Trotting when I'm going to fish far bank swims or when I've got an awkward wind and I need to fish a waggler.

Thanks for your input guys. Olly the 507 you are using for the bigger fish, is it the MK1 or MK2.
Thank you.

Re: What do you use your Abu 500 series for.
The reel I use most is the mk1 507 and it does every type of fishing I want it too, from waggler fishing for Carp and Tench to stick float fishing on a river for Roach and Chub, originally designed for Salmon and Pike spin fishing there really isn't a need for any other reel from the series.
